Title. In a fit of toxicity at seeing yasuo 12 times in a row and Udyr never leaving me alone, I quit the game and didn't touch it. After the Assassin update, a friend of mine noted that they have our whole team sans me, as I was their top laner. Thus, I have rejoined, just as long as the client will FREAKING DOWNLOAD ALREADY.
So what did I miss? A link to recent patch notes would also be appreciated.
Everything, has changed....
The assassin update, Ivern, Camille(hasn't came out yet), AND THE STUPID PRESEASON UPDATE WITH THE STUPID JUNGLE CHANGES AND PLANTS
new champs:
Kled - melee top laner, rides a mount, dismounts at low health, making him weaker but giving him the opportunity to heal for a ton by remounting
Ivern - support jungler, has a gimmick where he doesn't have to actively fight camps to clear them
Camille (upcoming) - diving fighter most similar to Irelia
Reworks:
Yorick - powerful pushing top laner, summons lots of mostly uncontrollable ghouls
Kog'maw - mostly un-reworked
Alistar - passive and E switched up and changed a bit
Assassin update: Talon - now can parkour over walls Leblanc - takes a bit longer to burst people, now does her mimic when she ults rather than at low health Katarina - now leaves daggers on the ground, does a damage spin when she picks one up Rengar - Q is now a two hit skillshot instead of an empowered auto. He also has Olaf and Ekko's ults on a basic ability. He's kind of busted. Lots of smaller changes that aren't that important.
Preseason:
The jungle sucks now. You have to start buffs because Krugs and Gromp spawn later. Krugs and Raptors are super annoying to take. Start blue side if you can.
There are now "plants" in the jungle. You autoattack them to activate them. There are three kinds: one works like Zigg's Satchel Charge, one reveals a big area, and one leaves fruit on the ground that heal you when you walk over them.
AD Assassin items are now better for assassins and worse for everyone else.
Evelynn and other stealth champions have had their unfair factor turned up to 11
Vayne is broken as hell now
Anivia is no longer viable
nothing of importance
You didnt miss Elementalist Lux GOD SKIN cause RITO STILL NO RELEASE >:O.
It's not too different aside from kogmaw being reverted (but still sucks), Ivern being released, and Plants existing. You'll still face the Yasuo-matchup-everyday-until-you-like-it problem, but then again everyone does and they never like it in the end.
